Ian, if you are doing black and white, orange and
red are great for
darkening skies,sculpting clouds to make them
stand out more but also
for architectural detail on sunny days.  HElps
with doing photography
at a time of day when color photos fall flat
because the sun is so 
high in the sky

Yellow is nice for rainy days, too.
THe warming filter can give you that Maria
Cosindas look  in color.

Blues are for using daylight film under tungsten
light to color balance.

Of course, i have no clue about these
relationships with digital cameras -
I'm a KX, LX and older dark side cameras kinda
gal.

NOT IST*D: Blue filter usage

2004-01-10 Thread Ian bromehead
Don

Hear hear hear. Phew, I was beginning to wonder !

Mind you I enjoyed the pimms thread, although, Cotty, my english memory of
pimms 
is a lovely biscuit we used eat (too many of) with a nice cup of tea.
Cant find them easily over here on the west coast. Cant find decent ginger
nuts either. Found good Tetley's beer though, makes a Yorkshire lad happy,
even if
It makes my focussing wonky.

Anyway, in the spirit of Don's post, my email start with a means in the
Email title for all you ist*dphiles to choose to ignore the rest of this if
you desire.

Keep up the good posts Don, film forever.

I've been off the list for a while because I became tired of the digital
exchanges. Now I see that at least one other person is more interested in
film cameras than the Pentax *ist D. If all posts had something in the
subject line to identify them it would be easy to make rules for sorting
things out.
